(28,120 posts)3 of my son's expensive gourmet meals would pay for his composite wood coffee table, bed, or entertainment center!
I'm happy that my 30yo son's serious girlfriend seems to admire the stuff in my house because he certainly doesn't. She commented favorably on some of my things that she didn't have to mention.
Do young Europeans also feel this way?
We saved to buy nice (not foofoo) English/French type traditional things. Hubby and I LIKE my mother's solid Cherry furniture and traditional china. I opted for a simple band china pattern when I was married (folks were buying those sort of wedding gifts instead of giving us money which we seriously needed). But now I love love love my mother's sweet, delicate pale rose patterned china.
Perhaps these adult kids will change their minds as I did about the china? We can hope.
